China Lifts Veil on DF-5B ICBM's 7,500-Mile Range and Multi-Warhead Capability

  • On June 5, 2025, Chinese state media disclosed new information about the enhanced DF-5B nuclear missile, which has an operational range of approximately 7,500 miles.
  • This disclosure follows decades of secrecy about China’s nuclear program and coincides with recent military tests, though the government has not clarified its motives.
  • The DF-5B can carry up to 10 independently targetable warheads with a combined explosive yield of three to four megatons, surpassing Hiroshima’s atomic bomb by about 200 times.
  • According to reports, its accuracy reaches within 0.3 miles and its range can strike most of Europe and nearly all of the continental United States from Chinese launch sites.
  • This revelation signals China’s intent to demonstrate its strategic nuclear capability amid mounting geopolitical tensions and to affirm deterrence with a controlled transparency approach.
